About Kevin W. Feder
For Kevin Feder, wealth management is a family business. His father, David Feder, was a trusted Smith Barney Financial Advisor for a generation of Westchester families. Kevin is proud to continue that service to a new generation at Morgan Stanley, and to uphold his father’s values of honesty, integrity and sound advice.
Kevin has been managing wealth for high net-worth individuals, families and businesses over 19 years. He has helped to grow the wealth for families in Westchester and all over the country. With his broad experience he is ready to assist with retirement planning, estates and trusts, education planning, special needs planning, and all life transitions which affect a family’s financial well-being. Kevin and his team came to Morgan Stanley in April of 2022.
Kevin has a talent for making clients feel at ease and listening to their concerns. An active problem-solver, Kevin is frequently in touch with clients throughout the year to provide advice and guidance for all things financial. He prioritizes good communication and an active understanding between advisor and client. He applies his knowledge of bond markets, equities, and options strategies, to create an individually tailored, tax-efficient wealth management plan using the full breadth of products and services at Morgan Stanley.
By working closely with his client’s tax and legal advisors, Kevin ensures that his wealth management advice is fully integrated to simplify his client’s lives. Personalized wealth management is part of Kevin’s objective.
Prior to joining Morgan Stanley, Kevin was a Senior Financial Advisor at Merrill Lynch for thirteen years and prior to that at Smith Barney. He started in financial services working with his father David, who he considers his greatest mentor. Kevin is a 1994 graduate of Ohio University in Athens, OH.

For many years Kevin has been active in supporting the Elizabeth Seton Children’s Center in Yonkers, which houses and provides care to medically fragile children. He and his wife Kira live in Brewster and have a blended family of five children: Liam, Joely, Dayna, Kayla and Peyton.
